Telling friends is a scary thing - I guess that's why I haven't told them by will. I don't trust.
I don't know your friends. But at this point maybe it's best to tell them that you feel hurt when they joke about it. It IS possible, that not having been there and with DID as highly... well... misunderstood and publicized on tv shows which portray it in the extremes to say the least... that they really don't understand. To someone without the disorder, how could they understand the pain that goes with it... what it's like to live that way. What you had to go through.
Do you think maybe saying something could help?

You're right, you're not at a happy ending right now. Who knows, to be honest, if it will come. But even in Disney there's some pretty crappy stuff that happens. Just the movie only lasts and hour or two and it's over - our lives our longer and we have a TON of crap to deal with. Main characters in any story keep fighting and I think that's what we have to do too. I don't think the characters in any story see then ending they are coming to in advance, really. Disney over simplifies, portray a so fake world that I don't think I would even want to live in.
But regardless, we are forced to keep going, we have to. Don't rule a good ending out. It may not be picture perfect ... maybe we can find stuff to substitute. Just keep trying is all we can do.

I'm sorry things are so icky right now. I know what you mean I really do, and I know that really the most I can do is send some virtual hugs and some positive and hopeful thoughts your way. *sits here with you*
